1. Humidification, Chapter 19 McCabe & Smith
Percentage humidity:
It is the ratio of actual humidity to the saturation
humidity at the gas temperature.
Definition
Definition
Humid Heat (s): heat required to raise unit mass of dry
gas and its associated vapour through unit temperature
difference at constant pressure.
Definitions
Humid volume : volume occupied by unit mass of dry
gas and its associated vapour.
100 Y . Ma/Mb
Percent saturation = = 100 Y/Ys
Ys . Ma / Mb
By similar reasoning, warmer air has greater specific volume and is hence lighter than cool
air. On the psychrometric chart, lines of constant specific volume are almost vertical lines
with scale values written below the dry-bulb temperature scale and above the upper
boundary's saturation temperature scale. On this chart, values range from 12.5 to 15.0 cubic
feet/ pound of dry air. Greater specific volume is associated with warmer temperatures
(dry-bulb).
